Underpaid, Overworked.

Pros

if you enjoy the contracting scene this is AN option. Although other contract companies will pay much more.

Cons

They underpay you a lot and have ZERO benefits. The staffing manager at my location was not knowledgeable at all. They showed their appreciate to full-time company management for the client instead of the contract employees. After a year of service my rate went up by 2% even though my review was extremely good with recommendations from senior management on my work.
